BLACK DOVE (Holmes on the Range Mystery) Book

In the summer of 1893, Gustav â??Old Redâ? Amlingmeyer and his brother Otto (a.k.a. â??Big Redâ?) find themselves down and out in San Francisco. Though cowpokes by training, the brothers are devotees of the late, great Sherlock Holmes and his trademark method of â??deducifying.â? But when they set out to land jobs as professional detectives, they land themselves in hot water, instead. First their friend Dr. Chan mysteriously takes a potshot at them, fatally wounding Big Redâ??s new hat. Then a secretive young woman from their past pops up and convinces them that Chanâ??s in trouble -- and theyâ??re just the men to get him out of it. Unfortunately, theyâ??re too late: By the time they track Chan down again, heâ??s dead. The police call it a suicide. Old Red calls that a lie. When he and his brother set out to prove it, they put themselves on a collision course with shady S.F.P.D. cops, brutal Barbary Coast hoodlums and the deadly Chinatown tongs. Before long, all sides are in a race to uncover the secret that could rock the city. And their only clue to whatâ??s actually going on is the enigmatic, exotic and extremely difficult to find â??Black Dove.â?Read More
